Insanity a Handy Loophole
The recent acquittal of Carol Ann Paight, Stam
ford, Conn., college girl who killed her cancer-tortured
father, may have written "finis" in that particu
lar case but it leaves the whole question of guilt in so
called mercy killing completely unanswered.
a e e a e
CAROL ANN was cleared through pleading insan
ity, a plea which it took a jury of parents only a
few minutes over two hours to uphold.
It must be recognized that the girl, like anyone
else in similar circumstances, with a loved one suffer
ing acutely from incurable disease, might be greatly
overwrought. Whether that condition should be
termed insanity and whether it should be viewed as
legally sufficient to excuse slaying, is something else
again.
a a a a e
THE STAMFORD verdict, in its "mercy" aspects,
is looked upon by many as foretelling acquittal for
Dr. Herman Sander who is to be tried in New Hamp
shire on a first degree murder charge in connection
with another euthanasia case, this victim a woman pa
tient suffering from cancer.
..see
IF SUCH acquittal verdicts are to be the pattern, the
question arises, what should be done in cases like
that of 29-year-old John Purevich of Gary, Ind.?
Purevich decided that his 65-year-old steelwork
er father, Alex, was "too old to live." While the
mother and four children were at a movie one night
1 t 1 1 1 ! I ,1
last week, the son, an unemployed minnana execuieu
his father with a shotgun. Repairing to another- room
he sat calmly down and read until others of the fam
ily returned. ...
JUDGING their actions strictly from the standpoint
of mental balance or imbalance, we would say
John Purevich is insane, but in his case, we hazard the
prediction there will be no absolution on that account.
He will be punished that is to say, he will be placed
under restraint.
And if so, the inevitable conclusion must be that
mnniai pnnrlitinn is not. after all. the maior factor con
sidered bv juries, that circumstances alter cases and
that we do in fact condone so-called "mercy killing."

EXCESSIVE WAX IN EAR
The amount of wax which may
accumulate in an ear has aston
ished many a person when a doc
tor has 'deliv
ered " it. For
some unknown
reason, usually
but one ear has
the tendency to
over - produce
wax, although
o c c s s ionally
both ears may
be so affected
E x c e s sive
wax causes sur
prisingly little
i n t e rference
Dr. Brady
with hearing
unless it
presses against the drum mem
brane. Wax in the ear may trap
water which presses against the
drum, causing deafness and call
ing attention to the presence of
the previously unsuspected ex
cess of wax.
The excessive wax may be
soft, but often is quite hard.
Dried out wax may accumulate
a large amount of debris from
the cast off colls of the skin of
the ear canal, and assume a
stone-like structure which entails
considerable difficulty in remov
al. Removing wax from the car
may take anywhere from five
minutes to an hour of the doc
tor's time.
If the ear canal is wide and
straight, usually the offending
wax may be readily removed.
Often, the canal is narrow and
twisted and removal is difficult
and tedious. Armed with appro
priate instruments, the doctor
may be able to remove the wax
directly, but very often it be
comes necessary to wash the wax
out as the use of instruments in
the car is painful, and injury to
the ear is thus avoided. If the
wax is very dry and hard, the
doctor may instill a softening
agent on the first visit and re
move the wax on the second
visit.
An excess of wax may cause
a chronic irritation of the canal
and lead to the habit of digging
in the ear with a hair-pin or
toothpick. This in turn may lead
to an Infection of the canal at
tended by deafness and pain. The
skin of the canal is tightly ad
herent to the underlying struc
tures and even a slight swell
ing in the skin causes very pain
ful pressure.
A fact often overlooked is
that an excess of wax in the ear
may be the cause of a chronic,
persistent cough. This is due to
a reflex nervous action. Many
cases of this sort have been cured
by removal of the offending wax.
Even probing into the ear may
cause a patient to cough, so sen
sitive is this nervous connec
tion. A person who is troubled by
excessive secretion of wax
should seek medical attention
at frequent intervals in order to ,
avoid painful, long drawn-out
ordeals. There is no known j
means of preventing an excess i
of wax from forming.
I. do not advise the self-use of
an ear syringe or other self-employed
method for the removal
of wax. Nor do I advise the per
iodic dropping of oil or glycer
ine into the ear for the purpose
of keeping the wax poft Any
manipulation of the car. which
is so sensitive to infection and
injury, should be undertaken
only by n physician who has the
means to treat the member with
properly sterilized and appro
priate instruments.
The practice of shaking the
head and pulling upon the ear.
often resorted to by swimmers i
in an effort to dislodge trapped
water, is harmless enough. But
unless water runs freely out of
the car. the swimmer would be
well advised to have the situa
tion remedied by a physician at
his earliest opportunity.
The possibility of "punctur
ing the drum" with a hair-pin.
nail, toothpick or other crude
instrument is. I believe, quite
remote. But the blind introduc
tion of an unstcrilized instru
ment into the canal may result in
an infection. If a perforation ex
ists, unknown, in the drum, it
can readily be understood that
the self-introduction of oil or
water may result in a sccre in
Jiaafc. "

Itryan Waller Proctor.
Have you a double bed or twin
beds at your house? Don't an
swer me. That certainly is none
of my business. However, it may
interest you to know 68 per cent
of married couples in the United
States now have twin beds. Be
fore World War II only 25 per
cent of the married slept in sep
arate beds. The average sleeper,
male or female, changes position
from 20 to 40 times a night. The
average double bed is 54 inches
wide. That gives each occupant
onlv 27 inches to toss around in.
It is not enough. Especially if one
of the occupants has cold feet. It
is usually the wife who has the
cold feet and the husband is too
gallant to complain about it.
Sad Films
Among the forthcoming fea
ture films is "The Outbreak"
which is about the bubonic
plague in New Orleans; "The
Killer That Stalked New York,"
dealing with smallpox, and
"Never Fear," which concerns
polio. Also "The Men," in which
Marlon Brando will make his
film debut in wheelchair por
traying a paraplegic. Then there
is "Wo sad songs lor me. in

Margaret Sullavan, dies of can

were presented to the pope with
the remark: "They are not Cath

"Ah, comedians. Laughter has

more of it." Let's hope Holly

Explanation
Male residents of Naples are
noted for their unusual intensity
of affection for the female of the
species. The Neapolitans say this
is due to the nearness of Mt.
Vesuvius. Reading so much
about that Rossellini-Bcrgman
volcanic island romance remind
ed me of this.
Passing By
Frederick V. Bowers. Veteran
entertainer and songwriter.
There are few fellows around
who can say they have been en
tertaining on the radio as long
as Mr. Bowers. He started to
broadcast in 1920. just about 30
years ago. over WJZ, then lo
cated in the Westinghouse fac
tory in Newark. N. J. He claims

theme song idea. ,
Asides
If Pierre Larquey, French
thespian, is not the world's old
est active actor, who is? Mon
sieur Larquey, who just finished
playing a part in a film titled
"A Millionaire for a Day." is 106
years old. . . . Ever hear of a
Viennese dish called bauern
schmaus? Neither did I until to
day. I am informed the bauern
schmaus consists of a slice of
roast pork, a slice of smoked
pork, a kidney, a small steak, a
slice of liver and some potatoes.
Checker-Uppers
Now I am being harassed by
specialized checker-uppers. In
Laguna Beach, Cal.. I have a
reader who checks all theatrical
items appearing in this column.
He's very sharp, too. He goes
back to the days when James A.
Heme starred in "Shore Acres"
and Mrs. Leslie Carter was play
ing in "The Heart of Maryland."
Incidentally, he says that the
play with the longest title of all
time was "The Fool Hath Said in
His Heart That There Is No
God," which was produced by
David Belasco in 1905 with E.
H. Sothern starred.
Asking
Queries from clients: Q. So a
dog is smarter than a horse, you
say. All right, we won't argue.
But tell us which is the smarter,
a horse or a mule? A. Mister,
three you have an argument.
Most people claim a mule is
smarter. They say, for example,
that if a horse is entangled in a
barbed wire fence he will strug
gle to get out and cut himself
ail up. But that a mule in the
same predicament will wait for
some man to come along and cut
him out. That rnay be true of
some horses, but not of those
western cow ponies. Some of
those cow ponies are nearly as
smart as dogs. Another smart
tvpe of horse is the polo pony.
Then there is the Tennessee
walking horse. Many thorough
breds are so smart they are al
most human. The great "Exter

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
This interesting dig patch
comes from Washington:
"Senator Elmer Thomai (Dem
ocrat, from Oklahoma) today
proposed 'production payment'
plan as a solution to the govern
ment's surplus potato problem.
"Thomas said . . . ne inienas
to introduce a bill ... to:
"1. Allow market prices of
potatoes to reach their own mar
ket levels without price support
ing loans and
"2. Assure farmers of pay
ments from the treasury to bring
their potato returns up to 75 per
cent of parity."
OARITY is a standard fixed
V by the government, intended
to assure farmers a return on
their crops in fair relation to the
price of things they must buy).
IpHAT is to say:
If Senator Thomas' bill should
become law, potatoes will sell
on the market for what they will
bring. The potato farmer will
then be paid in cash from the
treasury enough to bring his
price up to three- fourths of
parity.
It is obvious that the Thomas
plan would be a trial run of the
controversial Brannan plan ON
POTATOES ONLY with this
difference. The Brannan plan
called for 100 per cent of par
ity for several basic crops where
as the Thomas plan would pro
vide 75 per cent of parity on
potatoes only
I think this much will have to
be admitted:
Either the Brannan plan or
the Thomas plan would at least
provide lower prices to the con
sumer and to that extent would
STIMULATE CONSUMPTION.
That would be less absurd than
the present system under which
the consumer gets no price ad
vantage and high-priced potatoes
accumulate in government ware
houses and (since potatoes are
perishable) may eventually have
to be destroyed.
BUT let's get on with the Wash
ington dispatch. It adds:
"Senator Anderson (Democrat,
from New Mexico, former secre
tary of agriculture) and Senate
Majority Leader Lucas (Demo
crat, from Illinois) have publicly
announced they favor withdraw
ing all mandatory price props
from potatoes unless congress
passes CONTROLS OVER BOTH
PLANTING AND MARKETING
OF THE POTATO CROP.
That means:
1. Throwing the potato grow
er out on his own to sink or swim
with no help in the way of sup
port prices, or
2. Telling him flatly how many
acres he can plant and how many
potatoes he can sell.
Alternative No. 2 would
amount to complete regimenta
tion of potato growing,
PERSONALLY, I think that
if everybody else is to be
voted rich the farmer must also
be voted rich. But anybody can
see the trend the situation is
following. This is it:
Consumers outnumber farm
ers. Under existing systems, the
consumer continues to pay high
prices for price-supported crops
and at the same time pays his
share of the taxes required to
provide the government money
to support the crops.
If this trend continues, the
farmer is going to lose out in the
ensuing political conflict with
the more numerous consumer
class.
